NAME
The name shall be Gaming Regulators European Forum or GREF in its abbreviated form.

OBJECTS

EXECUTIVE BOARD
There shall be an Executive Board of up to nine members. The Executive Board will contain the offices of chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, treasurer and administrator of GREF. The administrator is elected ex officio on the Executive Board.

ELECTION OF EXECUTIVE BOARD
Members of the Board will be elected by two third majority of all countries present at a regular meeting for a period covering two regular meetings. The election will take place during the second regular meeting in any one period and the members of the Board will take office on completion of that meeting unless otherwise agreed. Members of the Board can be re-elected. The Board may at any time appoint a member to fill any vacancy on the Board until the next regular meeting.

MEETINGS
One regular meeting will normally be held each year. It will be held in a European country in rotation. Each meeting will decide, subject to the agreement of the proposed host, where and when the following meeting will be held. Additional meetings may be called by agreement. The working language of GREF will be English. The host is responsible for the organisation of the meeting. The Executive Board assists the host in the organisation of the meeting.

WORKING GROUPS
The Forum can decide to establish working groups on specific items. A working group reports at a regular meeting. The co-chairs of a working group will be elected by two third majority of all countries present at a regular meeting. The Executive Board may at any time appoint a co-chair to fill any vacancy on a working group until the next regular meeting.

AGENDAS
Participants may propose items for inclusion in the agenda of a meeting and call for national position papers, provided the Executive Board is notified at least three months before the date of the meeting.
